Decreased S100A7 expression is linked to altered differentiation-, autophagy- and senescence-related programs during skin aging
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To investigate the role S100A7, a skin-derived antimicrotial peptide (AMP) in skin aging, we knockdowned S100A7 in normal human keratinocytes, which induced senescence markers, impaired autophagy, and partially recapitulated aging-associated transcriptional changes. Conversely, supplementation with physiological levels of S100A7 restored autophagic flux and attenuated senescence in D-galactose–induced aging models. These findings identify S100A7 as a molecular link between epidermal differentiation, autophagy, and cellular senescence, establishing an AMP–autophagy axis in skin aging.
